System Requirements
To work in a dual-controller environment, both controllers must
have the same:
■amount of memory installed.
■firmware version. See Upgrading the Controller Firmware on
page 3.
Installation Overview
Follow the installation process in this guide to insure that both
controllers are installed and configured correctly.
The installation process includes the following tasks:
1Verify that both the primary and secondary controllers have the
same amount of memory.
2Verify that both controllers have the latest version of firmware.
See Verifying the Firmware Version on Your Controller on page 3.
If necessary, you can download a newer version of the firmware
from www.adaptec.com.
3Remove the primary controller. Refer to the DuraStor Installation
and User’s Guide.
4Install the second controller into the Controller 1 bay. Refer to
the DuraStor Installation and User’s Guide.

is the left-most controller bay. On the 6320SS and 7320SS, the
Controller 1 bay is the lower controller bay.
The second controller now becomes the primary controller.
5Change the mode of the new primary controller. See Changing
the Controller’s Operating Mode on page 8.
